EP 52 | The Future of Housing W/ FACIT Homes Founder Bruce Bell

In this podcast we sit down with Bruce Bell the Founder & CEO of FACIT Homes to talk about the work they have been doing building sustainable homes in the UK. FACIT has taken an unique approach to building homes by embracing technology and digitising as much as the design to build process as possible. They have pioneered their Mobile Micro Factory approach by bringing manufacturing to the construction site with machinery in containers, true BIM to Manufacture approach and their unique building system and components known as the FACIT Chassis. We cover all these topics as well as the wider landscape of housing in the UK and what the future holds for FACIT as they scale up their technology, building system and machinery with their new collaboration with Tharsus.

As a Facit Customer, I can confirm Bruce's statements - the Customer experience is great especially versus traditional builder & architect solution. They delivered the scheme on time and on budget - supportive and interactive.
